That's "if he gets medically cleared." Coach Pete Carroll has said this is not a guarantee. It's hardly surprising Chancellor is going to give it a shot, as his $6.8 million salary fully guaranteed earlier this month. It could be a while before we gain clarity on Chancellor's health.

Seahawks SS Kam Chancellor's 2018 salary is fully guaranteed after the team kept him on its roster past February 9.

This is an expected move from Seattle. Releasing Chancellor would have pushed his $9.6 million cap hit to $19.5 million in future charges and may have led to an injury grievance. Coach Pete Carroll said in early January that Chancellor might not play football again, but the Seahawks deemed him worth keeping for 2018 and perhaps beyond. Signed through 2020, Chancellor should return as Seattle's starting strong safety. Feb 10 - 7:16 PM

Chancellor could have trouble getting cleared from a career-threatening neck injury, but he's going to remain in Seattle for at least another season. The Seahawks owe Chancellor $12 million in guarantees and would increase his cap hit to $19.5 million from cutting him. 29-year-old Chancellor looks likely to open 2018 on the reserve/PUP list.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said SS Kam Chancellor (neck) will "have a hard time playing football again."

Carroll said the same of DE Cliff Avril. These comments almost seem to implore Chancellor to retire, but the coach said the decision is, obviously, up to the player. Chancellor is only 29. Jan 2 - 12:49 PM

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed Friday night that LT George Fant (ACL) is done for the season.

Carroll called it a "significant" ACL injury, and suggested there may have been more ligament damage. The injury indeed looked brutal on the field. The Seahawks turned to sometimes guard Rees Odhiambo as their first-team left tackle in Fant's absence. They could also look at LG Luke Joeckel as a left guard alternative, or give un-retired free agent Branden Albert a phone call.
